Kate De Jong

Kate De Jong, #1 bestselling author of Seeds of a Calling and client of Athena Daniels Academy.

Athena helped me to take the seed of my idea and turn it into something that I’m incredibly proud of… I simply could not have written my book without her genius expertise. She has a gift for writing and expressing story with words that have been critical and so profound in my book writing process. I’m so grateful to have had the opportunity to be coached by her, and my story is more powerful than I ever could have imagined. Thank you, Athena!

“As a book coach, Athena goes above and beyond. You feel that she is invested in your success, and she is the perfect coach and cheerleader, no matter what your head space is at any given time. Athena really knows her stuff and shares her experience and expertise with a generous heart, while making sure you produce a book of a publishable quality.

Working with Athena has made what is an epic undertaking a fun and productive experience. I highly recommend Athena as a book coach and as someone who will be in your corner through the entire book publishing journey.”
